I didn't mean to challenge that last point. I was simply trying to put it in perspective. We're not taking an otherwise flexible structure and suddenly making it rigid. Rather, we're taking an already extremely rigid structure and giving it a little more support. Like you said, the incremental gain is small, but it probably exists.

The S2K is very rigid by convertible standards, but it's still a noodle compared to some of the stiffest vehicles on the road. And even the stiffest ones still have some flex. For instance, almost all cars will flex a bit when you jack up one corner. Some are more noticeable than others. So while I agree the hardtop may not have a big effect, it likely has an effect on an open cockpit car like the S2K.
